< Isaiah 37 >

1 And it comes to pass, at King Hezekiah’s hearing, that he tears his garments, and covers himself with sackcloth, and enters the house of YHWH,
Nígbà tí ọba Hesekiah gbọ́ èyí, ó fa aṣọ rẹ̀ ya, ó sì fi aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ bo ara rẹ̀, ó sì wọ inú tẹmpili Olúwa lọ.
2 and sends Eliakim, who [is] over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and [the] elderly of the priests, covering themselves with sackcloth, to Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet,
Òun sì rán Eliakimu alákòóso ààfin, Ṣebna akọ̀wé, àti aṣíwájú àwọn àlùfáà, gbogbo wọn nínú aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ wòlíì Isaiah ọmọ Amosi.
3 and they say to him, “Thus said Hezekiah: A day of distress, and rebuke, and despising, [is] this day; for sons have come to the birth, and there is not power to bear.
Wọ́n sọ fún un pé, “Báyìí ni Hesekiah wí, ọjọ́ òní jẹ́ ọjọ́ ìbànújẹ́, ìbáwí àti ẹ̀gàn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìgbà ìbí àwọn ọmọdé tí kò sì ṣí agbára láti bí wọn.
4 It may be your God YHWH hears the words of Rabshakeh with which the king of Asshur his lord has sent him to reproach the living God, and has decided concerning the words that your God YHWH has heard, and you have lifted up prayer for the remnant that is found.”
Ó lè jẹ́ pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ yóò gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ọ̀gágun ẹni tí ọ̀gá rẹ̀ ọba Asiria ti rán láti fi Ọlọ́run alààyè ṣe ẹlẹ́yà, àti pé òun ni yóò bá a wí nítorí àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ ti gbọ́. Nítorí náà gbàdúrà fún àwọn tí ó ṣẹ́kù tí wọ́n sì wà láààyè.”
5 And the servants of King Hezekiah come to Isaiah,
Nígbà tí àwọn ìjòyè ọba Hesekiah dé ọ̀dọ̀ Isaiah,
6 and Isaiah says to them, “Thus you say to your lord, Thus said YHWH: Do not be afraid because of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Asshur have reviled Me.
Isaiah sọ fún wọn pé, “Ẹ sọ fún ọ̀gá yín pé, ‘Ohun tí Olúwa sọ nìyìí. Má ṣe bẹ̀rù ohun tí ẹ ti gbọ́ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ tí ọba Asiria tí ó wà nínú ìdè ti fi sọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí mi.
7 Behold, I am giving a spirit in him, and he has heard a report, and has turned back to his land, and I have caused him to fall by the sword in his land.”
Tẹ́tí sílẹ̀! Èmi yóò fi ẹ̀mí kan sínú rẹ̀ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ó fi jẹ́ pé bí o bá ti gbọ́ ìròyìn kan, òun yóò padà sí orílẹ̀-èdè rẹ̀, níbẹ̀ ni n ó sì ti jẹ́ kí wọn ké e lulẹ̀ pẹ̀lú idà.’”
8 And Rabshakeh turns back and finds the king of Asshur fighting against Libnah, for he has heard that he has journeyed from Lachish.
Nígbà tí ọ̀gágun gbọ́ pé ọba Asiria ti fi Lakiṣi sílẹ̀, ó padà sẹ́yìn, ó sì bá ọba tí ń bá Libina jà.
9 And he hears concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, saying, “He has come out to fight with you”; and he hears, and sends messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
Ní àkókò yìí Sennakeribu gbọ́ ìròyìn kan pé Tirakah ará Kuṣi ọba Ejibiti ń jáde bọ̀ wá bá òun jà. Nígbà tí ó gbọ́ èyí, ó rán oníṣẹ́ sí Hesekiah pẹ̀lú ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí,
10 “Thus you speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Do not let your God in whom you are trusting lift you up, saying, Jerusalem is not given into the hand of the king of Asshur.
“Ẹ sọ fún Hesekiah ọba Juda pé: Má ṣe jẹ́ kí òrìṣà tí ìwọ gbẹ́kẹ̀lé tàn ọ́ jẹ nígbà tí ó sọ pé, ‘A kì yóò jọ̀wọ́ Jerusalẹmu fún ọba Asiria.’
11 Behold, you have heard that which the kings of Asshur have done to all the lands—to devote them—and you are delivered!
Dájúdájú, ìwọ ti gbọ́ ohun tí ọba Asiria ti ṣe sí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, tí ó pa wọ́n run pátápátá. Ǹjẹ́ a ó ha dá ọ nídè bí?
12 Did the gods of the nations deliver them whom my fathers destroyed—Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden, who [are] in Telassar?
Ǹjẹ́ àwọn òrìṣà àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí àwọn baba ńlá mi parun ha gbà wọ́n sílẹ̀ bí àwọn òrìṣà Gosani, Harani, Reṣefu àti àwọn ènìyàn Edeni tí wọ́n wà ní Teli-Assari?
13 Where [is] the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?”
Níbo ni ọba Hamati wà, ọba Arpadi, ọba ìlú Sefarfaimi tàbí Hena tàbí Iffa?”
14 And Hezekiah takes the letters out of the hand of the messengers, and reads them, and Hezekiah goes up to the house of YHWH, and Hezekiah spreads it before YHWH.
Hesekiah gba ìwé náà lọ́wọ́ àwọn oníṣẹ́ ó sì kà á. Lẹ́yìn náà ni ó gòkè lọ sí tẹmpili Olúwa ó sì tẹ́ ìwé náà sílẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa.
15 And Hezekiah prays to YHWH, saying,
Hesekiah sì gbàdúrà sí Olúwa:
16 “YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, inhabiting the cherubim, You [are] God Himself—You alone—to all kingdoms of the earth, You have made the heavens and the earth.
Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, tí ó gúnwà láàrín àwọn kérúbù, ìwọ nìkan ni Ọlọ́run lórí i gbogbo ìjọba orílẹ̀ ayé. Ìwọ ti dá ọ̀run àti ayé.
17 Incline, O YHWH, Your ear, and hear; open, O YHWH, Your eyes and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib that he has sent to reproach the living God.
Tẹ́tí sílẹ̀, ìwọ Olúwa, kí o gbọ́, ya ojú rẹ, Ìwọ Olúwa, kí o rí i; tẹ́tí sí gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ tí Sennakeribu rán láti fi àbùkù kan Ọlọ́run alààyè.
18 Truly, O YHWH, kings of Asshur have laid waste all the lands and their land,
“Òtítọ́ ni Olúwa pé àwọn ọba Asiria ti sọ àwọn ènìyàn àti ilẹ̀ wọn di asán.
19 so as to put their gods into fire—for they [are] no gods, but work of the hands of man, wood and stone—and they destroy them.
Wọ́n ti da àwọn òrìṣà wọn sínú iná wọ́n sì ti pa wọ́n run, nítorí àwọn wọ̀nyí kì í ṣe ọlọ́run bí kò ṣe igi àti òkúta lásán, tí a ti ọwọ́ ènìyàn ṣe.
20 And now, our God YHWH, save us from his hand, and all kingdoms of the earth know that You [are] YHWH, You alone.”
Nísinsin yìí, ìwọ Olúwa, Ọlọ́run wa, gbà wá lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, tí ó fi jẹ́ pé gbogbo ìjọba ilẹ̀ ayé yóò fi mọ̀ pé Ìwọ, Ìwọ nìkan, Olúwa ni Ọlọ́run.”
21 And Isaiah son of Amoz sends to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: That which you have prayed to Me concerning Sennacherib king of Asshur—
Lẹ́yìn náà Isaiah ọmọ Amosi rán iṣẹ́ kan sí Hesekiah: “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli sọ pé, nítorí pé ìwọ ti gbàdúrà sí mi nípa Sennakeribu ọba Asiria,
22 this [is] the word that YHWH spoke concerning him: Trampled on you, laughed at you, Has the virgin daughter of Zion, The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken the head behind you.
èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa ti sọ nípa rẹ̀: “Wúńdíá ọmọbìnrin Sioni ti kẹ́gàn rẹ, ó sì ti fi ọ ṣe ẹlẹ́yà. Ọmọbìnrin Jerusalẹmu ti mi orí rẹ̀ bí ó ti ń sálọ.
23 Whom have you reproached and reviled? And against whom—lifted up the voice? Indeed, you lift up your eyes on high Against the Holy One of Israel.
Ta ni ìwọ ti bú tí ìwọ sì ti sọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí? Sí ta ní ìwọ ti gbé ohùn rẹ sókè tí o sì gbé ojú rẹ sókè ní ìgbéraga? Sí Ẹni Mímọ́ Israẹli!
24 By the hand of your servants You have reviled the Lord, and say: In the multitude of my chariots I have come up to a high place of hills, The sides of Lebanon, And I cut down the height of its cedars, The choice of its firs, And I enter the high place of its extremity, The forest of its Carmel.
Nípa àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, ìwọ ti sọ̀rọ̀ búburú sí Olúwa. Tì wọ sì wí pé, ‘Pẹ̀lú ọ̀pọ̀ kẹ̀kẹ́ mi ni èmi sì fi dé orí àwọn òkè ńlá, sí ibi gíga jùlọ Lebanoni. Èmi a sì ké igi kedari gíga rẹ̀ lulẹ̀, àti ààyò igi firi rẹ̀. Èmi ti dé ibi rẹ̀ tí ó ga jùlọ, igbó rẹ̀ tí ó dára jùlọ.
25 I have dug and drunk waters, And I dry up with the sole of my steps All floods of a bulwark.
Èmi ti gbẹ́ kànga ní ilẹ̀ àjèjì mo sì mu omi ní ibẹ̀, pẹ̀lú àtẹ́lẹsẹ̀ mi Èmi ti gbẹ́ gbogbo omi àwọn odò Ejibiti.’
26 Have you not heard from afar [that] I did it, From days of old—that I formed it? Now I have brought it in, And it is to make desolate, Ruinous heaps—fortified cities,
“Ṣé o kò tí ì gbọ́? Tipẹ́tipẹ́ ni mo ti fìdí rẹ̀ mulẹ̀. Láti ìgbà pípẹ́ ni mo ti ṣètò rẹ̀; ní àkókò yìí ni mo mú wá sí ìmúṣẹ, pé o ti sọ àwọn ìlú olódi di àkójọpọ̀ àwọn òkúta.
27 And their inhabitants are feeble-handed, They were broken down, and are dried up. They have been the herb of the field, And the greenness of the tender grass, Grass of the roofs, And blasted grain, before it has risen up.
Àwọn ènìyàn, tí agbára ti wọ̀ lẹ́wù, ni wọ́n banújẹ́ tí a sì dójútì. Wọ́n dàbí ohun ọ̀gbìn nínú pápá, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀jẹ̀lẹ̀ èhíhù tuntun, gẹ́gẹ́ bí i koríko tí ó ń hù lórí òrùlé, tí ó jóná kí ó tó dàgbàsókè.
28 And your sitting down, and your going out, And your coming in, I have known, And your anger toward Me.
“Ṣùgbọ́n mo mọ ibi tí o wà àti ìgbà tí o wá tí o sì lọ àti bí inú rẹ ṣe ru sí mi.
29 Because of your anger toward Me, And your noise—it came up into My ears, I have put My hook in your nose, And My bridle in your lips, And I have caused you to turn back In the way in which you came.
Nítorí pé inú rẹ ru sí mi àti nítorí pé orí kunkun rẹ ti dé etí ìgbọ́ mi, Èmi yóò fi ìwọ̀ mi sí ọ ní imú, àti ìjẹ mi sí ọ lẹ́nu, èmi yóò sì jẹ́ kí o padà láti ọ̀nà tí o gbà wá.
30 And this [is] the sign to you, Self-sown grain [is] food of the year, And in the second year the spontaneous growth, And in the third year, sow and reap, And plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
“Èyí ni yóò ṣe àmì fún ọ, ìwọ Hesekiah: “Ní ọdún yìí, ìwọ yóò jẹ ohun tí ó hù fúnra rẹ̀, àti ní ọdún kejì ohun tí ó jáde láti ara rẹ. Ṣùgbọ́n ní ọdún kẹta, ẹ gbìn kí ẹ sì kórè, ẹ gbin ọgbà àjàrà kí ẹ sì jẹ èso wọn.
31 And it has continued—The escaped of the house of Judah that has been left—To take root beneath, And it has made fruit upward.
Lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i, àṣẹ́kù láti ilé Juda yóò ta gbòǹgbò nísàlẹ̀ yóò sì ṣo èso lókè.
32 For a remnant goes forth from Jerusalem, And an escape from Mount Zion, The zeal of YHWH of Hosts does this.
Nítorí láti Jerusalẹmu ni àwọn àṣẹ́kù yóò ti wá, àti láti òkè Sioni ni ikọ̀ àwọn tí ó sálà. Ìtara Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni yóò mú èyí ṣẹ.
33 Therefore, thus said YHWH, Concerning the king of Asshur: He does not come into this city, Nor does he shoot an arrow there, Nor does he come before it [with] shield, Nor does he pour out a mound against it.
“Nítorí náà, èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí nípa ọba Asiria, “Òun kì yóò wọ ìlú yìí wá tàbí ta ẹyọ ọfà kan níhìn-ín Òun kì yóò wá síwájú rẹ pẹ̀lú asà tàbí kí ó kó dágunró sílẹ̀ fún un.
34 In the way that he came, in it he turns back, And to this city he does not come in, A declaration of YHWH,
Nípa ọ̀nà tí ó gbà wá náà ni yóò padà lọ; òun kì yóò wọ inú ìlú yìí,” ni Olúwa wí.
35 And I have covered over this city, To save it, for My own sake, And for the sake of My servant David.”
“Èmi yóò dáàbò bo ìlú yìí èmi ó sì gbà á là, nítorí mi àti nítorí Dafidi ìránṣẹ́ mi!”
36 And a messenger of YHWH goes out, and strikes in the camp of Asshur one hundred and eighty-five thousand; and [men] rise early in the morning, and behold, all of them [are] dead corpses.
Lẹ́yìn náà ni angẹli Olúwa jáde lọ ó sì pa ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́sàn-án ó lé ẹgbẹ̀ẹ́dọ́gbọ̀n ènìyàn ní i ibùdó àwọn Asiria. Nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn yìí jí ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì gbogbo wọn ti dòkú!
37 And he journeys, and goes, and Sennacherib king of Asshur turns back, and dwells in Nineveh.
Nítorí náà Sennakeribu ọba Asiria fọ́ bùdó ó sì pẹsẹ̀dà. Òun sì padà sí Ninefe, ó sì dúró síbẹ̀.
38 And it comes to pass, he is bowing himself in the house of his god Nisroch, and his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer have struck him with the sword, and they have escaped to the land of Ararat, and his son Esar-Haddon reigns in his stead.
Ní ọjọ́ kan, bí ó ti ń jọ́sìn nínú tẹmpili Nisroki òrìṣà rẹ̀, àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ Adrameleki àti Ṣareseri gé e lulẹ̀ pẹ̀lú idà, wọ́n sì sálọ sí ilẹ̀ Ararati. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Esarhadoni ọmọ rẹ̀ sì gba ipò rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba.
